Inside the Embassy



Although the weather was good last night and the Garden Party took place outside, we saw some of the inside of the British Ambassador's Residence as we arrived and left.  This is one of the main staircases.  The walls of the stairwell were covered with a collection of antique prints.



The ballroom is where the event would have taken place in case of bad weather. 



Three very impressive crystal chandeliers.



Facing each other across the room, a portrait in oils of Queen  Elizabeth I ..



and Andy Warhol's portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II



There were potted orchids all around the room..
